API Nanotronics Corp., a leading
supplier of electronic components and nanotechnology research and
development to the defense and communications
sectors, announced the introduction of a new line of
proprietary UV polarizers.
Developed at the Company's NanoOpto Division, this advanced
product is based on a patented nanofabricated grating design. The
polarizers can be optimized for use at a customer-specified wavelength,
such as the 266nm quadrupled YAG laser line, and exhibits extinction
ratios exceeding 20db. These devices, which are non-dichroic,
high-transmission components and super thin, can be cut to any
application-specific size and shape up to 4" x 4". The Company is
targeting UV photolithography and display applications markets and has
already received interest from a variety of global blue chip technology
companies.
"This is an exciting development for API," said Phillip
DeZwirek, Chairman and CEO of API. "We expected NanoOpto to yield many
new products, but these polarizers are well ahead of schedule and that
is a testament to Dr. Moskovits and the team at our new facility in New
Jersey. We anticipate that this will highlight API's superior technical
capabilities to a variety of industries and lead to new partnerships
for our company."
